Andrews has co-sponsored 2,782 bills during the same time period. (The count of enacted bills considers only bills, and not resolutions, actually sponsored by Andrews and companion bills identified by CRS that were themselves enacted, but not if they were incorporated into other bills, as that information is not readily available.)"
  • A LOT OF BILLS

Bills recently Sponswered:
  1.  H.R. 3249: To recognize small employer benefit arrangements as employers, and for other purposes
